CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Professor Ko Honda, Professor of Mathematics at UCLA. Title: Morse theory, Floer homology, and string topology Abstract: One of the most important theories in […]
Abstract: The 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal intensified public demand for governance reform, leading to the creation of the Los Angeles Charter Reform Commission. The commission is now considering […]
An inner amenable group is one in which there is a finitely additive conjugation-invariant probability measure on the non-identity elements. In this talk, we show that inner amenability is not […]
We'll be back next week!
A graphical design is a quadrature rule for a graph inspired by classical numerical integration on the sphere. Broadly speaking, that means a graphical design is a relatively small subset […]
Title: Geometric classification problems with the Bergman metric Abstract: One of the common problems in mathematics is the classification problem: When are two mathematical structures really the same? The classification […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Assistant Professor of Mathematics Robert Cass of Claremont McKenna College: Title: An introduction to the Langlands program Abstract: Class field theory, which […]
Abstract: The shape of the fluctuations as heat approaches equilibrium in an insulated body are governed by the first Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplacian. Rauch's hot spots conjecture states that the extrema of the first nontrivial Neumann Laplacian eigenfunction for a Lipschitz domain lies on the boundary. While this conjecture is false in general, its […]
A Z-module M in a number field K gives rise to a lattice in the corresponding Euclidean space via Minkowski embedding. Such lattices often carry inherited structure from the number […]
Title: Transfinite Apollonian metric Abstract: The concept of transfinite diameter of compact sets in the complex plane was introduced by Fekete in 1923. It is a generalization of the standard […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ruby Kim (University of Michigan) Title: Mathematical Models of Circadian Rhythms and Seasonal Timing Abstract: The circadian clock shapes nearly 24-hour periodic rhythms […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College. Title: Finding Your Optimal Paths Abstract: Path planning plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life, among which are transportation, robotics, and optics. In this session, we will explore the mathematics behind path planning including the Dijkstra's algorithm […]
